Application med October 5, 1906.. Serial No. 337,595.

zen of United States of America, residing at Hartford, in the county of Hartford and State of Connecticut, have invented-certain new and useful Improvements in Binding- Posts, of which the following is a specifica- My invention relates particularly to a novel means for securing circuit wire in a binding post. i

In the drawings?Figure' 1 is a lateral sectional view of the binding post. Fig. 2 is a top view.. Fig. 3 is a side View showing-the bore. Fig. 4 is a lateral view showing the.

circuit wire in place.

In carrying out my invention I rovide a posta of the usual construction 0 such devices, having. a bore 1) to receive the circuit wire. In the side of said post there are 0 enings c c in which non-rotating studs (1 located. The studs arepreferably secured together by a bridge 4;. A screw f shoulders on said bridge and is threaded into the post a,- providin a'means for forcing the studs inward to ho d the circuitwire g in place.

are I In the usual construction an ordinary screw is used to hold the wire.- This screw as it rotates cuts and spreads a stranded wire and is objectionable. for this reason; in my device the non-rotatable studs alone come incontact with the wire and consequently the wire is not cut and spread but is held firmly andfeven against the post so that a positive even contact is assured.

I (318.1111 as my nvention:

A cylindrical binding post having a central bore and two openings through the wall of said post into said bore, non-rotatable binding studs movable lengthwise through said openings, a bridge connecting the outer ends of'said studs, and means connected with said bridg'e for moving said studs, substantially as described. v

p In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
